Introduction
About The Hack
Welcome to the beautiful land of Kansai! Through your adventures in this new and unexplored world, make decisions that will affect not just relationships with characters but the whole world of Pokemon. Befriend Pokemon to fight evil, or use them as your weapons and join the forces of darkness and take over the world. Where does your heart lie?
[Please Note I will be developing just the good side of the story first and once that is complete I will add the evil side option as well]



Story
The Rare and unseen Pokemon Mew is rumoured to live deep in the shadows of Ebony Forest. It's said to be the mother of Pokemon. Containing abilities of all existing Pokemon.
You the Hero/Heroine Begin your Journey in a little town called Rosewood. You awaken one morning and you go to visit your friends in your secret hideout. Your Friend wants to go exploring in the grassy fields just north. So You and Your Friend head up into the peaceful grassy route north of Rosewood, when you hear some voices and the cry of a sad Pokemon. Running towards the sound, you encounter a soft brown Pokemon, Eevee. It's laying on the grass and it's hurt. You decide to help the Eevee so you pick it up and hurry back to Prof. Willow's Laboratory in Rosewood. Prof. Willow takes the Eevee and nurses it back to health. The Eevee then starts following you around, it likes you, so you are advised to keep the Eevee for a while until you're sure it's healed. Thus receiving your very first Pokemon.
Just after you take Eevee, Some men come barging into the Lab and they kidnap the Professor! You are attacked by one of these men's Pokemon, fending him off with your new Eevee. After they flee the scene your friend decides to go after them, he receives a Pokemon from the Assistant Prof. And rushes off to find them.
Who are these men who took Prof. Willow? What do they want from her? What are their plans? Will you try to stop them? Or will you join them?


Features

Thanks. ^^ I made the bubbles and the Mew sprite myself. :D (It's what people call a 'pixel over' I think, either way It's my first)
I'll put some map shots in a spoiler on the first post for anyone who wants to look, maybe tell me if I could improve them :p

Awan2407 December 23rd, 2009 7:16 PM

What a great map that you made it.
:)

Zeffy December 23rd, 2009 8:37 PM

I see you are working hard with this. I liked the titlescreen. I noticed something though, shouldn't Mum be spelled as Mom? Well, good luck with it anyways.

haha ^^; You're right..I'll fix that right now. I have been working really hard. I spent ages reading tutorials as I developed my plans, I did HEAPS of messing around with the title screen before I eventually got good at inserting it (Need to insert my logo) and finally over the last few days actually started making Pokemon Ebony (I don't know why I love the name so much). I was really nervous at first about posting my hack. But I'm glad I'm getting positive responses. =] Thanks. Going to work on some more scripts, maybe eventually get a youtube acount and make some videos.

chrunch December 23rd, 2009 9:27 PM

This looks like a good hack.
I just noticed, in the screen that says "Let your dreams run far
with your shoes" the " is facing the wrong way.

Thank you very much, and hmmm, yes, I noticed that too. (You are talking about the quotation mark aren't you?) I'm not actually sure how to fix that, but I will try =] (I probably just require a little hex value or something)

I'm sorry, I don't want any mappers. If I change my mind I'll let you know, but, for now mapping and scripting I want to be done by me. Thanks anyway.

I really like your hack!It is really great!Title screen is amazing!

Tropical Sunlight December 24th, 2009 9:59 AM

Mum = British English
Mom = American English

Anyway the titlescreen looks nice, but I dislike the outside palletes.

BlitŻ December 24th, 2009 10:24 AM

Ohh, nice to see my rombase at work ^^'. I like you're story, as it is neat and organized, as with the presentation of the thread; it's pretty professional ^^. But your title screen is pretty basic and your maps need improving. The style of tiles is meant to have a lot of decor and such. I give this hack a very good rating compared to others out there, and I wish you the best of luck and godspeed to the first beta. By the way, If my newest idea doesn't get into the hotw, ill be sure to vote for yours xD

Ninetales433 December 24th, 2009 11:41 AM

Wow,great hack.The storyline is pretty intresting.Keep up the good work!

Uzumaki_King December 24th, 2009 11:54 AM

...so how exactly do these hack things work? =/ ....or are they just ideas?

Zadow December 24th, 2009 12:58 PM

Haha, Posting on Christmas day...gee I totally have a life ey... >.<

Well, I guess since when I play the Pokemon games it's always 'Mom' I'll stick to that for now. I still need to do a lot more work on the titlescreen. But I'm glad you like it. ^^ Hmmm..well..I'll keep it in mind about the palettes, I seem to like them though.

Hey! ^^ I absolutely love the ROM base, though I need to insert a variety of buildings, I can't have all towns the same... and I hate most of the original tiles. :p I spent ages as I began working developing what would be my thread in a writing program. I was too nervous to post it at first :) I'm not done with the title screen (Obviously) I could try putting in a background, hmmm..(Just last time I tried I got that tilemap error with the three small squares and then for some reason had some trouble with the palettes. Rosewood town is, what is it, my thrid ever map? I learned quickly from my mistakes. :D And there is always room for improvement, I'll try seeing if I can make them prettier later. ^^ I saw a lot, of....'sloppy' hacks around, I wanted to make sure mine didn't end up under that catagory ^.^; And, thanks, that'd be cool. :D It's great to have Constructive Critisism.

Gah, how on Earth do I start replying to this? Maybe PM me and I can try and explain some things to you?

Wow, long post :p
Merry Christmas everyone! (And/or enjoy any other sorts of celebrations people may have based upon beliefs, religons, or just plain fun!)

Thanks ^^ I'll let you know when I eventually release a Demo/beta.

I'm getting much better at scripting, I can make basic scripts and stuff without everything going wrong. :D I successfuly made the Rival leave a room (hidesprite command), for some reason it wasn't working but I got it eventually :D I'll post a video sometime in the next few days of the begining of the game...hmm...then a while after that (not sure when) I'll release a Demo :p I made some not so exciting Box art >.< maybe I'll try again, and post it up :p

The titlescreen looks cute and decent.

But would you mind changing the words on the titlescreen aswell?

(Change them to Ebony instead of Fire Red)
